[missing-sync-palmos-talk] Categories lost after restore from backup

[Blaine Wilson]

HI Matthew,

I restored my personal Treo 650 after palm repair returned it back to  
me (after a month and half, but that's another story) and all of my  
applications retained their category settings. I.e., All the  
applications I had put in a custom category remained in that category  
after the restore. Note, this was a brand-new replacement device, so  
none of my data was on the device until I restored it.

Hopefully this helps.

Regards,

Blaine
